Abstract (en)
[origin: US2022031310A1] A surgical staple is provided. The surgical staple includes a crown having a center portion and a foldable portion, and a pair of legs extending orthogonally from the crown and configured to puncture tissue. The crown and the pair of legs are fabricated from a biodegradable metal such that biodegradation causes the center portion to separate from the foldable portion and the pair of legs, and the foldable portion and the pair of legs are absorbable within the tissue.
